Add a Module

Language:

When you order an additional module, it arrives fully configured according to your specifications. Plug the new module into the virtualization switch and the software will recognize the module. This procedure uses the CLI.

Display the modules installed on the virtualization switch.

Plug the new module into the appropriate slot in the virtualization switch.
Tip - VHBAs are supported only for the virtualization switch. VHBAs are not supported for the leaf switch. If you want to add vHBAs or vNICs to a module, you must create them with the add vnic or add vhba command and associate them with a server profile. A vNIC can be bound only to network Ethernet cards, and up to 128 vNICs per I/O card are supported. A vHBA is bound only to SAN FC cards. For instructions, refer to vnic in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Command Reference and vhba in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Command Reference.

Verify that the new module was recognized.

For example, the FC module was inserted into slot 7:

Tip - If you are installing a module in a slot that previously held a different type of module, the show iocard command will show a mismatch and you might experience connectivity problems. To fix this problem, remove the I/O card information from the database by typing remove iocard slot-number. See Remove a Module.
